Craig runs this large bioengineering lab and makes sure everyone knows what they are doing and can keep on doing it. His lab investigates how biomechanical forces on cells lead to regeneration, repair, and disease of cardiovascular tissues. Our dynamic team of engineers, biomedical scientists, and physicists tackle applied biomedical problems in the areas of heart valve mechanobiology and disease, stem cell-based tissue regeneration, and microfluidic physiological systems.
Training and assisting students with their projects are parts of my job. My major project is to dete...

My research project mainly focuses on addressing the current challenges in the development of a tissue-like living engineered heart valve replacement for the stenotic pulmonary valve in pediatric patients with Tetralogy of Fallot. Together with another postdoctoral fellow, Nataly, and two PhD students, Shouka and Bahram, we are going to ultimately generate an engineered construct that better recapitulates the composition and organization of the extracellular matrix, and the mechanical properties of the native pulmonary heart valve tissue. In parallel, I am working on the generation of allogenic heart valve tissue for in vivo investigations using a pig model.

Training and assisting students with their projects are parts of my job. My major project is to determine the signaling pathways involved in calcific aortic valve sclerosis. I am particularly interested in the mechanisms by which valve interstitial cells differentiate to calcifying phenotypes in response to mechanical stress.
